I am going to be working on a model house cake for a client and was woundering if any of you have carved styrafoam in to shapes and if so how you did that? I want to make the base form for the house and then will add all the detail to it with icing.

I was thinking of using two 8 inch square cake dummies glued to gether to make a square and then carve it away.

I also want to know if you have a great way of putting on windows? Do you carve out the window spot or just put the window on top?

Any direction would be great!!

THANKS in advance

I have not done exactly what you are thinking about, but I have done some carving of styrofoam with my kids. We bought a styrofoam cutting device (probably at Michael's). It's a handle with a battery compartment and a small thin wire. When it's on, the wire gets hot and able to cut the styrofoam. Works like a charm!
